“Don’t look at me like that,” Sasuke complained. He was trying to drink the tasteless green soup they had given him for lunch in the hospital, which was accompanied by translucent chicken, dry rice and yellowish banana juice. He looked at Naruto, who was sitting in front of him, eating the strawberry jell-o that had come with his lunch, since he didn’t like sweet things. His eyes looked guilty and sad, as if he had done something wrong.

Naruto suddenly smiled and put some of the pinkish jell-o in his mouth. “What are you talking about?”

“I’m not an idiot,” he answered, putting the soup down. “Don’t look so guilty. The doctors are going to start thinking you did this to me.”

His eyes looked down as soon as he said that. Sasuke hadn’t said anything about who had caused his injuries and whenever the doctors questioned him, he would say he “simply didn’t remember”. This weekend had been really weird, since he started feeling some sort of distance between him a Sasuke, mainly because Sasuke wouldn’t tell him the truth or even talk about it. Not that Naruto had asked him, he felt that if Sasuke wanted to tell him he would have already.

“Don’t think too much, it doesn’t look good on you,” Sasuke said as soon as he noticed how much his last statement had affected him. “We’ll talk about it when we get home,” he then whispered. “It’s safer.”

Naruto instantly smiled and put another chunk of jell-o in his mouth. “You’re finally going home!” he exclaimed with all his force.

A tall blond doctor entered the room. He looked at both boys attentively and then smiled. “Well Mr. Uchiha, your healing abilities are outstanding. Someone with your type of injuries would have usually stayed here for a couple of weeks, but there’s no use in keeping you here since you are very healthy,” he commented as he looked through Sasuke’s paper. “Still don’t remember anything that happened?” he asked.

“I told you, the last thing I remember is opening my apartment’s door.” He looked at Naruto with bitterness in his eyes. He could easily tell how annoyed he was of all the attention he was receiving from the doctors and nurses.

The doctor also looked at Naruto. “I understand Mr. Uchiha is going to be living with you, Mr…”

“Yes, well Mr. Uzumaki. Its you duty to bring him here immediately if he has any sort of side-effects.”

Naruto nodded. “Understood!”

“I guess that’s all, please take your medicines and make an appointment for a check up. You are free to go whenever you are ready.”

The doctor left quickly. As soon as the door closed, Sasuke jumped from the bed, leaving all the nasty food behind and stretched. “Finally those bastards have given up on me,” Sasuke commented. “We should go out for dinner tonight. I need some good food.”

Naruto smiled, leaving the jell-o container on the food tray. “Whatever you want,” Naruto stated. “Tomorrow is a holiday, so we can stay up till midnight. There’s nobody to put you to sleep, like they do here.”

“I like that idea,” Sasuke commented as he leaned next to Naruto ear. As soon as he changed into some of his own clothes, Naruto had brought, he snaked his arm around Naruto’s waist and kissed his cheek. “I’m ready,” he announced.

After a small dinner, Sasuke and Naruto returned home safely. The shock in Sasuke’s face was very notorious when he saw how clean Naruto’s apartment was. “Wow, did you do all this?”

“Actually, Sakura-chan helped me,” Naruto admitted. “When she helped me bring your stuff over she noticed how messy everything was and how unhealthy it would be for you so we cleaned the place.”

Sasuke frowned. “I don’t like you hanging around with her,” he commented, “It makes me jealous.”

“What?!”

“You like her, that’s obvious. If she gave you the chance, you would immediately run to her so I don’t want her to be around you and notice what a wonderful and sexy guy you are.” When he was finished with his mini-speech, he noticed how red Naruto had turned. “Why do you look like a tomato?”

The question only made Naruto redder. “I won’t ditch you like that,” he whispered. “I will never do that!”

Sasuke immediately wrapped his arms around his body and placed his mouth on his ear. “I like tomatoes...” he whispered, causing a million chills through Naruto’s spine.
